Prior to Sung Jinwoo’s reawakening, they were unquestionably the world’s top hunter. However, as Sung Jinwoo continued to advance at an extraordinary pace, the difference between them narrowed swiftly. Given that Sung Jinwoo has now conquered an S-rank dungeon, could it be said that he now outclasses national-level hunters?

What Does It Take to Become a National Level Hunter Officially?

Clearing an S-rank Dungeon Is a Must

Long ago, before the central plot unfolded, humanity endured its most devastating disaster when a high-ranking gate broke open, releasing the fury of the dragon Kamish onto the western coast of America. This catastrophe claimed countless lives and left chaos in its wake. Despite the American government gathering the world’s top hunters to combat this menace, it seemed as though the dungeon boss was invincible.

Destroy everything. That is the only mission bestowed upon us.

The course of the conflict suddenly shifted when a group of top-tier global hunters united to vanquish Kamish, halting its deadly rampage and ensuring a decisive triumph for mankind. Following the initial breach of an S-rank dungeon, these courageous warriors were bestowed with the prestigious title of National Hunters and granted influence commensurate with that of an entire nation.

Kamish’s rampage not only caused one of humanity’s most devastating disasters but also significantly boosted the power of hunters. Since then, no hunter has been able to earn the National Level Hunter title because none have successfully completed an S-rank dungeon and proven themselves stronger than a typical S-ranker.

Sung Jinwoo’s Powers and Astonishing Achievements

Jinwoo Changed the Hunter History Forever During the Jeju Island Raid

Initially, Sung Jinwoo was regarded as humanity’s least powerful hunter. The mere thought of him clearing even the most basic Gates on his own seemed implausible for the young man, given his struggles against the weakest magical beasts. However, after undergoing a transformation, Jinwoo received abilities that enabled him to evolve at an alarming rate.

Beyond this, Sung regularly engaged in quick-made dungeons designed by the System, a battlefield that boosted his combative skills significantly. As he mastered fearsome talents such as Shadow Pull, Frenzy, Camouflage, and Disfigurement, he outmatched even Korea’s top hunters and demonstrated the prowess to conquer S-rank Gates of the utmost difficulty.

During the Hunters Guild Gate arc, an A-rank team, unaware of the danger, found themselves trapped in a treacherous dungeon overrun with powerful high orcs, guided by an S-rank orc shaman, seemingly facing imminent, brutal slaughter. However, they were blissfully unaware that their rescuer was already part of their group. Prior to the raid commencing, Jinwoo had secretly joined the team as a miner. When the situation turned dire, he stepped forward to take control.

In a turn of events, Sung employed his phalanx of shadows to engage in combat with the high orc sorcerer known as Kargalgan. However, his troops lacked the strength to match Jinwoo’s horde of undead warriors who continued their assaults. Recognizing the need for reinforcements, Kargalgan entered the fray, but ultimately failed. With clearing an A-rank dungeon already a significant feat, Jinwoo raised the stakes when the Jeju Island expedition force endured casualties and was on the verge of collapse following their encounter with the Ant King.

During the live broadcast of the harsh confrontation, it became clear to Jinwoo that his raid team was in dire straits, prompting him to quickly teleport into the dungeon via Shadow Exchange. Although the Ant King appeared formidable, his overconfidence prevented him from contemplating defeat. The covert boss of the secret dungeon fought mercilessly, yet never held a winning hand. In the end, Sung Jinwoo managed to vanquish the magic creature and incorporated it into his shadow forces.

I am saying you should get ready to become hunted. ~ Sung Jinwoo

Jinwoo’s accomplishments on Jeju Island are truly impressive and difficult to fully emphasize. Previously mentioned, even five elite hunters were needed to defeat Kamish, yet Sung alone overcame the Ant King. Although Japanese and Korean hunters had previously slain the Ant Queen, their abilities paled in comparison to the secretive boss of the dungeon. If not for Jinwoo’s intervention, millions on both Korean and Japanese soil would have likely perished due to the magic beasts of Jeju Island.

Is Sung Jinwoo the Strongest Hunter Alive?

Jinwoo Has Surpassed National Level Hunters

Prior to the Jeju Island raid, it was only National-level Hunters who could boast about conquering an S-rank dungeon. However, this changed when Sung successfully defeated the Ant King. Given that he overcame the Gate and eliminated the secret boss singlehandedly, Jinwoo’s accomplishment surpasses that of the National-level Hunters in terms of sheer impressiveness.

I feel like something within me is lost every time I get stronger. ~ Sung Jinwoo

The team that triumphed over Kamish boasted a hunter with healing abilities in addition to their ranks, further enhancing Sung’s victory. Given the circumstances, it can be confidently stated that Jinwoo now outshines national-level hunters following the Jeju Island raid.
